red and green

Now I've got a little red to go with my green!!

:)

Just a HOP SKIP and a JUMP

(hand sewing the binding)

and this quilt will be ready for Christmas!!

Let me tell you...

I was so proud of my quilting on this one.

I wanted the family to NOTICE it last night.

I was hiding all the long thread tails as we talked.

Guess what???

No one said anything!

I thought I had done an outstanding job (for me)

on all that quilting.

By the way...it took ALL DAY!!

I stipple quilted green in the green areas,

creamy snowflaky looking designs in the cream centers,

red thread in the yellow and red flower areas,

and then white feathers around the outside cream areas.

Well. I was proud.

THEN....

I saw Victoria's quilting this morning and was totally

HUMBLED!!

Maybe I'll have to invest in the book she recommends!

I know she got a new camera recently too...

but even in real life...my quilting does not even come close!!

Well.

It's good to be humbled once in a while!

I do hope that's the last humbling experience of the day.:/

Here's the lovely linen back.

I found two curtain panels and thought they were

PERFECT for this quilt. :)

They were also the RIGHT price! ($2)

I should rename my blog...

The FRUGAL quilter.

I love a good deal!!!
